    BlenderGIS can get you pretty good images.. you do need an API key to get set up but it's all free and you can even generate 3d geometry based on the elevations in the satellite images.. it tiles in blender so you the more you zoom the better the image quality to a point.

    Hey Mike, I'm sure you figured this out already, but when you first create the attribute type a number with the inch mark like 0" or 0' in the value box and hit enter. This will set the unit for that attribute to inches. This only works for the first time a value is entered. After that first initial value, you will need to use the attribute info dialog to make changes. In addition, you can use 0 to set it to text (not "Default: Text") and 0cm to set it to centimeters. If anyone knows a shortcut for setting the unit to Decimal Number, I would love to hear it!

    Pete, nice hut....yeah thats the one.....how did you do it for sketchup? or do we need render engines to amplify (or bump) the texture so it would look realistic and not flat? Tesmeko

    now theres a challenge. Hard to say how feasible it would have been without seeing your model, but i think a lot of your problems could have been solved with some constructive grouping. As for the circles not lining up, if you make sure you always line your circles up to the same point in your model and always use the same number of sides you shouldnt have too many problems. The thing to remember here is that all geometry in SU is made from straight lines, so with your circle youve got to make sure all the lines match up. A cleaning tool would be very useful, although i believe there are a few rubies that already do some of that. A healing tool could be pretty dangerous in the wrong hands. I've got images of shoddy house models with thousands of healed faces everywhere... And lastly, the zoom issue is a known problem called clipping. I think its something to do with openGL, although im very rough on the specifics.

    Thanks Tom, I think Ive worked it out, Ive been a bit lazy with component axis til now.... Re the fires: we are ok here, but about 50 miles away its horrific, death tool is now 220 and climbing, several small towns have literally ceased to exist, places that I know, I'm having trouble getting my head around it. I was in the 'Ash Wednesday' fires of '83 where we had a firestorm moving at 68mph, what happened on Sunday was worse, people just did not have time to get away. And it's not over yet. baz The Age newspaper has the full story. http://www.theage.com.au/

    Tip: If the "start from scratch" Sandbox tool doesn't draw anything, try typing a lower number for the divisions.

    Sure, just assign each scene a different style in the scenes tab.

    Is this where you click Move and then Shift to make the selected move off axis? or does this apply here? Just an idea. mitcorb edit. oops. I meant select items, select Move, and then ALT to release from axis lock. Still, is this the appropriate procedure?

    Thanks Jim and Remus. I don't use animations that much, so didn't think about this. But turning off transitions as Jim recommends certainly makes a difference. Jeremy

    Well, if you don't want to hassle too much with them later on, you can just intersect the face they are on and delete all the holes. Should be faster than with the new components.

    Great help guys, I got them working now. This is a pretty good ap. considering how SU can barely handle 3D vegetation. I know xfrog can work but that still kills most computers. THanks again

    after reading your posts i did some experimenting and it turns out that i must have selected all then hide while inside the group. wierd, i wouldn't expect it to work that way. thanks for the replies, that could've caught me again down the road cause i had no idea why it happened.

    @caddict said: Look forward to trying out that add-on! I often build the basic house structure in a cad app, simply because it's easier to build walls, make openings, etc...then move it over to SU. It's ready to try - See: RpWallMaker

    Another way in Renditioner is to simply set the image size how you would like it. Open image controls and make the render 4000 x 800 pixels, for example, and it uses those dimensions calculating from the center of the viewport.
